To qualify as hope, our aspirations must be towards the good. It sounds so obvious, but I meet folks every day, sometimes in the mirror in the morning too, who are wide open to all sorts of negativity, who live in dread and sure expectation that the worst is just around the corner. That we often feel despondent and hopeless is not really much of a mystery, is it? Obviously there are many life situations that we do not personally control, but the thing that is always in our control is our response to those situations, and the hope-filled person is devoted to choosing a positive response.
